I assume this is a forgery.

Thank you for linking me to that very detailed thread.

I read something there for genuine,"Gniezno" overprints;
"One characteristic of the ink is that it wasn't mixed properly so that shiny blobs show throughout the overprint. This is best seen when viewing the stamp at an angle at eye level or under a microscope." My ink does not looked very well mixed at all.
